The Rest of Our Final Semester.
Our didactic pharmacy work has come to an end, so, there will no longer be lunch together. However, there may be additional posts as the lunchmates are encouraged to submit things they say while on rotations.
A.J. and J.F.---
A.J. "Are you passing hand written notes in class? You know you have an email machine right in front of you."
J.F. "LOL, it's retro! Email is too main stream."
E.G.---
E.G. From notes "FE effects cyclones, quinolones, and levodopa."
T.B. "Does that mean iron causes tornadoes?"
During a late night study session---
K.B. "And A.J. just succeeded in long jumping as far as my 4 year old."
J.F. "Why is there jumping?"
A.V. "Why wouldn't there be jumping?"
J.F. "Valid Point...Did you guys hear what happened to E.G.'s computer? Water spilled in her backpack and it died? She had to run to IT and get a loaner, but all her notes are on the waterlogged one."
K.B. "I bet she's freaking out a little bit. Using a loaner computer to study for a test...that's like using a Pinto in the Grand Prix."
J.F. "It's like using a calculator with no e^x button on the kinetics test (J.F.). Or deleting your monograph 12 hours before it is due (A.J.)."
K.B. "Watch out A.V. looks like we are next."
A.V. "Take...It....Back."
E.G. "Yeah.. I'm totes awake... do you know what happened to me? Around 6, my computer freaked out and turned off and on, off and on, off and on, now its laying decrepit on my sofa. Luckily the IT lady stayed 10 minutes late so i could run to school for a loaner.."
K.B. "J.F. told us, then A.J., A.V. and myself all backed up our hard drives and started praying that the pharmacy gods don't strike us down for our last-minute studying efforts."
E.G. "Yeah, crammers live on the edge."

K.B. "Yeah, but from what I saw, I think it is over multiple weeks of material."
E.G.
J.F.---
Randomly:
"Are you going to have a 21 gun salute at your funeral? Because if you don't I would like to have it. I want people to have guns at my funeral."

To the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody: "Diarrhea! Figaro! Magnifico!"
J.F.---
T.B. "This type of bleeding is intentional."
J.F. "Stabbing People?"

J.F. "Surgery!"
Another late night study session---
A.V. "I’m here, slowly pluggin away"
K.B. "Very slowly, judging by how quickly you responded to that email."
E.G. "Kinda like sulfasalazine.. I mean.. that takes like 2 months to respond."
A.V. "I wanna be more like methotrexate."
E.G. "You want to make people bald, give them GI problems, hematological problems, liver problems?? Heck I don’t even wanna talk to you because my CrCl is less than 40. Not to mention im keeping my baby clear away from you."
K.B. "See A.J. I told you A.V. doesn't like our kids."
A.V. "Poison them all."
E.G. "This conversation is turning almost as dark as the lupus rash that I could get with infliximab."
A.V. "I can't decide when we got so geeky."
K.B. "Geeky out of necessity is a survival skill, and thus, cool."
K.B. "Things that are backwards – I get to talk to A.J. during study time. However, now that it’s breaktime – “All right K.B., don’t bother me during my break.”"
J.F.---
"flippers are sad."
J.F.---
Email sent to A.J., K.B, E.G, S.S., and accidentally to Professor J.T.
"Does anyone have an extra 6 fx calculator? I only have a regular fx one and I don’t want to put on pants to go to Walmart."
Professor J.T. "Got you covered. The one on the test should work. I will have one as back up. I hope you are relaxing tonight."
E.G.---
Newly without braces and with a cookie.
"Guess who is not brushing their teeth after eating this."
J.F.---
about her morning coffee:
J.F. "It’s not about physically being awake, its about your brain working better…and sometimes it’s just more comforting than stimulating, as in “ I may not accomplish my dreams, but at least coffee will never abandon me.”"
K.B. "So…there’s this thing called “psychological dependence.” But since it has the term “psych” in it, I don’t put too much weight behind it."
J.F. "Bwahahhaha. I am the poster child of psychological dependence."
A.J. and J.F.---

E.G.---
A.J. "Ahhhh....E.G. squeaking in right as class starts; all is right in the world; I was confused on Monday when you were early."
E.G. "You know who I saw as I was walking to class?"
A.J. "No"
E.G. "I saw the early bird with the worm. At least I thought it was the early bird, I was going to determine if it was actually the early bird or just a generic robin holding an earthworm, based on whether I made it in here before the lecture started. Which I am not sure if I made it or not, so, I am still confused as to the identity of the bird, but that's OK because I like a mystery."
A.V.---
After the professor's microphone dies.
K.B. "YOUR MICROPHONE DIED."
A.V. "and K.B. takes out his man voice."

A.V.---
"Risperdal-It can also in rare cases cause priapism. Had to google it. Priapism, or Harding's hardness. Sure do feel bad for Mr. Harding....and his hardness."
E.G.---
"So, I literally, accidentally came to class today."
K.B.---
While discussing estrogens effects on bone density:
A.J. "That's right, after menopause you are at a greater risk for fractures."
K.B. "Becuase your estrogen factories shrivel up and fall out of your uterus."
J.F.---
J.F. "I saw you’re cheese stick, and now I can taste it."
K.B. "Is it possible that you smell it on my breath?"
J.F. "Oh yeah. That’s possible. I get those two sensations confused sometimes."
J.F.---
When discussing problems at one of her 4 jobs.
A.V. "I feel like we can't catch a break."
A.J. "Could be 5. <---Hey Oh! Silver Lining."
K.B. "Spring Breakin 1.5 weeks...golden lining?"
A.V. "Just keep swimming."
A.J.---
A.J. "You know those meet people ads that are on the side of the browser on some pages. Seems like, in the last year they have gone from 20 something college students to 30 something mom types….apparently the internet I turn 30 this year."
J.F. "Internet is stalking you...better watch your back."
A.V. "old man."

A.V. "old man."
The remaining quotes come from emails sent during an all night study session before a big test.
9:54PM
A.V. "What I have learned in the past 20 minutes: Not a whole lot, I can only do 5 good push ups in a row. Weak."
A.J. "Me=1....ish"
A.V. "Did you just try? I really hope you two are in the student lounge doing push ups."
A.J. "No! You want me to touch the floor....with my hands....who are you? The idea of it should be making you gag."
A.V. "When I was in elementary school, I rode the short bus home and Andrew used to lick the black runway floor between the seats."
A.J. "Andrew? I hope you didn't kiss him later in life, I would look at you in a completely different light. "She is the girl who kissed the bus licker.""
A.V. "You should make a song out of that last line."
10:10PM
K.B. "So, I just told A.J. that if we get a question that asks, "What would you give this person?" in the free response, I am just going to answer, "Drugs." I don't think they could argue with it."
A.V. "I am going to draw pictures, she seems to like those."
10:15PM
E.G. "Do we need to keep all the side effects straight with the Nib/Nabs? Because...That's not going to happen."
K.B. "That's funny. The Nibs we are eating cause Side Effects of Hyperactivity and silly jokes."
A.J. "What are the side effects? Death, lots and lots of death.<--Worth 0.5 out of 1 point on the psych exam."
A.V.
10:20PM
E.G."In other news, I've been trying to re-light the incense that I have going here, and I kept getting duds when I was striking the match, so, I gave this last one a fervent strike, ended up dropping a lit match onto the rug and blowing it out while picking it up, then I accidentally lit a napkin on fire.....the fires are out now, and I am very awake."
A.V. "Add that to our list of stimulants."
K.B. "Fire. Check."
K.B. "Imagine the frantic movements and small screams that went with this story."
A.J. "Who let you have fire?"
E.G. "Yeah, I don't know, but its not a good situation because I don't have anyone here to supervise me--my roommates are at work and at the bar."
10:38PM
K.B. "They obviously don't have a test in the morning. I am pretty sure a fire in the pharmacy lounge would end up waking up more than just A.J. and myself."
E.G. "Are you guys seriously in the pharmacy lounge? I hate being at the school that late, it feels gross."
10:47PM
A.V. "Fact. 20% of colon cancer patients have relatives."
K.B. "If you make me laugh cry again I will hunt you down."
11:05PM
A.J. "Apparently, 11:00PM is when I move from the "nice" study music to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Yellowcard. Who Knew?"
K.B. "And when he starts singing. Air drumming starts at 10."
E.G. "He's reached his 5 half lives of caffeine, going steady now."
11:38PM
A.V. "Meh, I think I am going to call it a night."
K.B. "All this Braggadocio about staying up until two...I don't know how you'll look us in the eyes tomorrow."
4:17AM
K.B. "Ooops dosed off there. I sat back to think about life, drugs, etc...and napped for 20min."
E.G. "That's weird that you were asleep....I'm going to nap from 445-645."
K.B. "Is that a phone number?"
E.G. "Yeah, for the sleep deprived hotline."
4:36AM
E.G. "Good Night! I'm setting 3 alarms, but that has failed me before, if I am not in the class room by 5 til, give me a call."
K.B. "How is she going to get into the classroom by 5? Oh, til 5. makes a lot more sense now."
A.V. "I just read that and thought.. poor K.B."
5:51AM
K.B. "I feel like I am going to vomit out a lot of chemo information....and then I might just vomit. Not a fun sensation."
J.F. "Yep, pretty much. This is how I see K.B. right now:
